Obviously, the NRA is upset and crying about this, but what's interesting is that they don't even refer to pigeon shoots, but instead call them
"organized bird shoots." They go on to say "For over a century, shoots have been held in Pennsylvania by law-abiding, ethical shooting enthusiasts."

Now we know they are just making this up as they go along. SHARK has documented enormous unethical behavior, from Philadelphia Gun Club President Leo
Holt
torturing wounded pigeons
to a
huge pile of dead and wounded birds
at the Wing Pointe canned hunting club. And let's not forget that putting a pigeon into a box and shooting them like clay targets is the definition of
an unethical act. But that's the NRA; they have never met a cruel slaughter of animals that they didn't like.
